Cinderella returns

Chapter-4 The diner

Evanya's P.O.V.

When I reached home, I was almost oblivious to the fact, that I had a goofy grin plastered on my face the whole time during the conversation with Cameron and my not so sweet sister had opened the door for me. She was staring at me so intently; it seemed as if she was sending X rays through my brain to see what was going in there. “What makes you so happy?”She said.

First I thought of replying with “It's none of your business” then my naïve self-returned and I simply settled with “Absolutely Nothing. I was just admiring the floor. It's really neat,And clean...and tidy and beautiful you know.”

Wow Evanya, The floor. Like really? I mentally gave myself that iconic facepalm.

Where do your brain cells go in these kinda situations? On Strike?

I kept that idiotic smile on my face in an attempt to make my sister believe me, which she clearly didn't. She stared at me as if I was dressed in a clown costume and was standing at her doorway. She muttered something under her breath along the lines of “weird creature” and “abnormal human” and went back towards her room. I released the breath I didn't realise I was holding. Then, immediately I rushed to my room and did all the homework I was capable of doing, in a few minutes that I had. After that I sprinted in the direction of  Bella's, my aunt's diner, where I work daily after school for 4-5 hours and 8 hours on weekends.

Must be tiring huh? Tell me about it people.

When I reached there, every inch of my body was drenched with sweat. I quickly changed into my work clothes and said my hello's and greetings to my co-employees and Jay.

Jay was an Aunt like figure for me. She was the only person who has been with me through all good and bad. When my parents were alive, she used to be my nanny. After their death, my Aunt hired her as a waitress.

The diner originally belonged to my parents and was named Aarna's, after my mother but after their heartbreaking death, She managed to confiscate all my parent's property including the Diner.

The Diner, well she changed it into a totally different place. While initially it was a cosy and warm place which had a homey feeling to it and carried a family atmosphere, now it is more of the loud type which plays noisy music in the background and is known place for teenagers to hang out with their friends.

Now, Back to Work. The café or diner was full as usual and people were shouting for their food as always. I managed to tire myself for some agonizing hours and returned Home at a stage where I could not feel my body and my muscles were aching like I had been toiling since morning.

As I was drifting to sleep, my mind shifted towards Cameron. I still couldn't get myself to believe, that I HAD HAD a FULL-FLEDGED CONVERSATION WITH THE CAMERON GREY. I mean, he is not some kind of superhero that I keep referring to him as The Cameron Grey, But if someone had come up to me and said that you will be friends with Cameron one day, I would have called them Insane because even a thought like this, seems Impossible. I Evanya Roberts had talked to a guy and he wants to be friends with me. As if on cue, my phone buzzed with another E-mail notification from Him.

Cameron: Hi Melanie!! ;)

Melanie, who is that? My mind went on its search mode to find out who is Melanie. And then suddenly it all came crashing down on me.

I am Melanie.

I am the coward who didn't have the guts to tell him her own real name, she should have been proud of.

But I can't because if I do so, he will also make fun of me and mock me like other jocks.

He might not be like others.He might actually insist on knowing the real you.

My sub conscience said. But I quickly shut because somewhere in the back of my mind I knew, he would do the same. I should not let my hopes grow. He will break my heart and leave like all others. I couldn't let my walls come down, which had taken years to built, and made me ignorant to people's comments about me.

You have built your walls not to block anyone, but to see who loves you enough, to climb over it.

Arghhh…..I hate it when my subconscious is stating the right things. And why I out of all people I am fighting with my own self? I think I have really gone mad, and need a Doctor.  

Why can't I just let it slide?

 Why don't I see him as another one of those cool people, who think it is their birthright to make fun of nerds like me?

Why am I continuing to talk to him, even though I know the consequences won't be good?

Why can't I be rude for once, with him, ignore the message I received and go to sleep, which My body is begging me to do?

So many questions are roaming in my mind and no one is present to answer them. Oh How I wish my mum was here with me right now. She would have known what to say. Even if she didn't knew my current situation, she would have been able to say the perfect words, which I wanted to hear. Things like these made me miss my mom, more than what I usually do. I hope she is happy with my dad, wherever she is. I hope they are together. I hope they are watching me right now, and are proud of what their daughter has become.

Hope, that is the only thing left with me. The only thing I have been doing ever since, they left me alone.
